The famine: Jeremiah's intercession

Chapter 14 refers to a famine which took place in the land. The
desolation of Jerusalem by the sword and by famine is again
declared. But observe here the touching intercession of verses 7-9;
and again in verses 17-22, the deep affliction of the Spirit of
Christ which expresses itself in the prophet's mouth. "For in all
their affliction he was afflicted." Observe also another element of
their condition, pointed out by the Apostle Peter, and by the Lord
Himself, with reference to the last days -- namely, false
prophets.
